Abstract
This note reports the extent of some components of natural resources damage from the Chernobyl nuclear accident in 1986, primarily losses in producer surplus in the reindeer industry in Lapland, Sweden. The damage suffered by Swedish moose hunters has been estimated earlier. The result is a lower bo undary of natural resources damage amounting to SEK 736 million, or about S EK 112 per adult Swede.
